Tang Songyuan fell completely into the mine pit where water was constantly overflowing. The mineral water bottle hidden in his trouser pocket also fell over. The twenty small fish inside took the opportunity to dive into the puddle.
Then follow the tunnel and swim in quickly.
"Ah~!" Lu Qingliu was caught off guard by this, and hurriedly came over, took Tang Songyuan's hand, and pulled him up.
"What's wrong with you? You're such a big man and you still fall..."
Tang Songyuan was soaked all over and looked a little embarrassed. He said helplessly: "I don't want to either. It slipped here just now."
He was distracted. While talking to Lu Qingliu, he switched the perspective of the fish school and kept searching for traces of the trapped people.
He twisted the water on his clothes and said, "How about I go down and look for it later."
With the help of the fish school, Tang Songyuan was fully confident that he could even find the trapped people earlier than the divers who had already entered the water.
Wei Qing's phone call never got through, and he was still worried about it.
Fortunately, the Huawei mate60RS that Li Qingying just replaced for him is completely waterproof, and the phone is not damaged at all even if it gets soaked through.
Lu Qingliu hesitated for a moment and said: "My brother just said that the environment down there is very complicated, and the seepage water in the mine is also very turbid... Are you sure you want to go down?"
"Or we can wait until the first group of team members come back to find out the situation before going down."
Tang Songyuan hummed and said, "I can do it. You may not know it yet, but my diving ability is top-notch."
"I'm not bragging, I'm even more capable than most of our divers..."
Lu Qingliu said: "I have never doubted your ability, but there are really many tunnels in the mine. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are connected in all directions."
"And the walls of the pit are soaked in water and there is a risk of collapse... I really don't recommend you go now."
But she obviously didn't know enough about Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties. No matter how complex the terrain was, or how many passages extended in all directions, it would have no impact on Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties who had super far and strong perspective.
And he also has fish to guide him. Once he finds traces of the trapped people, he can dive directly there.
Under his control, the school of fish moved separately, swimming quickly in the mine, searching for any trace of human activity.
Finally, with the efforts of Tang, Song and Yuan, one of the small fishes found the correct passage and found the seven trapped people on a raised open space in the pit.
Tang Songyuan's eyes narrowed, and he became increasingly anxious.
He saw his sister Wei Qing, and surprisingly she was among them.
No wonder he couldn't get through after calling so many times.
The open space is not big, only three or four square meters in size, and the water level is still rising, further compressing the living space of several people.
If the water level continues to rise, several people will no longer have a foothold.
Moreover, the space where the entire open space is located is not large to begin with. More than five hours have passed, and the oxygen content inside has also dropped sharply.
Judging from the state of several people, they are already very weak, relying only on their survival instinct to support themselves.
Wei Qing was surrounded by several people. Her body was also a little weak, her hair was messy, and even her eyes were a little distracted.
The situation is very critical...
Tang Songyuan could no longer care about anything else, and immediately walked towards the diving equipment brought by Leng Zhiwen and others, and put it on as he thought.
He carried double oxygen bottles and matching breathing equipment. When he reached the location of the trapped person through diving, he could let the other person dive back under his guidance.
At this moment, the first batch of divers to enter the water began to return to the surface along the rope.
People immediately gathered around the scene, and there were also medical staff on standby, ready to respond to emergencies.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Lu Qiming asked eagerly.
The man took off his helmet, took a big breath of fresh air, shook his head tiredly and said, "The underwater environment is too harsh. Even with goggles and a waterproof flashlight, you still can't see anything."
"My waist was hit by the current, and I hit a raised spot on the wall of the pit. If it hadn't been for this rope, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back..."
This person is not a diver from Sheng Tang, but a professional rescue team brought in by Lu Qiming.
But his luck didn't seem to be very good. Not only did he get lost after entering, he was also hit by the current.
Medical staff immediately went up to check him, but Tang Songyuan silently walked around the crowd and prepared to enter the pothole.
"Hey, man, rope! Safety rope!"
The man caught a glimpse of Tang Songyuan's figure walking upstream and greeted him loudly.
But Tang Songyuan turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the entrance of the pit. Then when everyone looked over, he stepped into the water without hesitation.
"Is he usually so brave?"
Lu Qiming was also a little worried. He turned to look at Lu Qingliu and asked.
Lu Qingliu forced himself to be calm and said: "Of course, otherwise you thought that just the two of us could recapture the Nine Dragons Sword from Papua New Guinea amid heavy siege?"
To be honest, she didn't have any confidence in her heart, she just trusted Tang Song and Yuan.
Trust that comes from instinct...
The water temperature in late autumn was very low, but it was still a little worse than that in the deep sea. Tang Songyuan had a clear goal and swam quickly towards the small clearing where the seven trapped people were.
The open space was about three or four kilometers away from the entrance of the pit, deep into the interior of the mountain, and there were more than ten branch roads in the middle.
The two divers from Shengtang also came in from this main road, but they were still led astray by the branch road in the pothole.
However, Tang, Song and Yuan had clear goals and acted quickly.
He unleashed all his strength and instantly transformed into a fast and agile fish, moving quickly through the sometimes wide and sometimes narrow tunnels.
If he wasn't worried about damage to the oxygen tank he was carrying, he would have been faster.
It only took half a minute to cross a kilometer, and only three minutes had passed until he reached the small clearing where the trapped people were and emerged from the slightly shallower water.
A distance of three to four kilometers would take an average person at least twelve or thirteen minutes even if they were to run on flat ground.
The water resistance encountered during diving is much greater than the air resistance.
In the small, dark and silent space, the movement of Tang Songyuan's head startled everyone who was trapped.
Soon someone turned on the flashlight and shined a light on it. Seeing that the person was wearing strict diving equipment, the fire of hope was ignited in their hearts.
Someone really came to save them!
Several people became excited instantly, and some even cheered: "Great, we are saved!"
"I just said that someone will definitely come to save us. Thank God..."
There was no extra space in the open space. Half of Tang Songyuan's body was still standing in the water. He took off his goggles calmly, looked at the crowd and said:
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely rescue you all!"
At this moment, a weak voice from the crowd sounded with surprise and disbelief:
"Brother, why are you here!"
...
